A value of 0 means fully transparent and a value of 255 means fully opaque. 

</blockquote><p><b>Remarks</b></p><blockquote>

To combine red, green, blue and alpha values in order to create a 32-bit RGB color, 
use the <a href="rgba.html">RGBA()</a> function. 
These functions are useful to perform <a href="index.html">Drawing operations</a>.
